With the release of AFP’s legislative scorecard for the 2014-2015 legislative session, the organization lauded Addiego as a “Defender of the Taxpayer,” with the third highest score for pro-taxpayer votes on more than a dozen critical bills in the New Jersey senate. Rodriguez-Gregg earned the title of “Taxpayer Hero,” with a 94 percent performance grade.

“The tax burden for families and seniors in this state has been too heavy for too long. My priority in Trenton has always been reducing the cost of government and making New Jersey more affordable,” said Addiego. “Economic prosperity is impossible until we lighten up on taxpayers.”

“Working families face a constant struggle to keep up with the bills and New Jersey’s legendary high taxes,” said Rodriguez-Gregg. “As a legislator, I am committed to providing relief for the beleaguered middle class. It is an honor to be recognized for fighting hard so taxpayers can keep more of their hard-earned money in their pockets.”
